The book focuses on the processes, methodologies, principles, and approaches involved in machine learning, including inductive logic programming algorithms, neural networks, and decision trees. The selection first offers information on the theory and applications of agnostic PAC-learning with small decision trees; reinforcement learning with function approximation; and inductive learning of reactive action models. Discussions focus on inductive logic programming algorithm, collecting instances for learning, residual gradient algorithms, direct algorithms, and learning curves for decision trees of small depth. The text then elaborates on visualizing high-dimensional structure with the incremental grid growing neural network; empirical support for winnow and weighted-majority based algorithms; and automatic selection of split criterion during tree growing based on node location. The manuscript takes a look at learning hierarchies from ambiguous natural language data, learning with rare cases and small disjuncts, learning by observation and practice, and learning collection fusion strategies for information retrieval. The selection is a valuable source of data for mathematicians and researchers interested in machine learning.
